Gavin Castleton's Halloween Single 'Unparallel Rabbits'

Versatile singer/songwriter Gavin Castleton, hailed Rhode Island's "hardest working composer/singer/writer/producer" by Filter Magazine, is releasing a Halloween single called "Unparallel Rabbits" on iTunes tomorrow in support of his upcoming zombies & heartbreak-themed album Home, on Five One Inc. The b-side to the single, entitled "Since 1968", is a track by Castleton's previous project Gruvis Malt (Warner subsidiary Lakeshore Records), remixed by New York electronic group The Overclock Orchestra, as well as Grammy-winner Rob Pemberton, both of whom contributed to the production on Home.

You can stream the single "Unparallel Rabbits" here (note fiery-eyed zombies in the background), and you can download the remix of "Since 1968" for your Halloween dance parties here.

Castleton is a classically trained pianist who recorded many independent albums and one for Lakeshore Records with Gruvis Malt, and is currently making a name for himself producing, making guest appearances, and recording some very eclectic solo albums, most recently A Bullet, A Lever, A Key (Integers Only), and For the Love of Pete (Five One Inc). He recently opened for Greg Laswell at The Hotel Cafe, and Facing New York at The Troubadour. Home is due out in 2009 and is "a sonic marriage of artists ranging from Peter Gabriel and Brian Wilson to King Crimson and Prince". You can keep up with Castleton at his blog The Great Consolidation.
